Life is sticky... our insecurities, parenting, relationships, pursuing our dreams, finances, pressures, judgments… it's all very sticky. And so are some of my favorite foods! Let’s stop wasting time trying to make it all perfect, and instead, embrace the sticky chaos and still make something delicious out of it.
On this page, you’ll find some of my favorite recipes I make for my family and friends. My hope is that you will approach both life and cooking in the same way
Coconut Almond Bon-Bons
Ingredients
2/3 cup white sugar
¼ cup water
½ cup (1 stick) butter, softened
2 ½ cups non-fat powdered milk
2 ½ cups grated sweetened coconut, divided
½ to 1 teaspoon milk
35 to 40 whole almonds
Instructions
Over medium heat, in a small sauce pan, heat the sugar and the water until the mixture boils. Remove from heat and transfer the mixture into a mixing bowl.
Add butter, powdered milk, 1 ½ cups of coconut, and ½ teaspoon of milk to the sugar mixture. Mix well, until fully blended. (The mixture should be dense, but if it seems too dense to mix, add the extra ½ teaspoon milk.)
Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours.
Form the mixture into small balls, placing an almond in the center of each one. Roll the balls in the remaining grated coconut. Keep refrigerated.
